I saw a feather planted at a golf course close by! Someone was trying to grow a birdie! It’s fun knowing there’s other fans of yours playing the same courses as me here in the states

[@GolfSidekick]

You sir are full of gold!! "you can't play champagne golf with lemonade ability"

[@iMiike69]

This is precisely how golf should be taught. I learned taking lessons when I was younger and then my dad is a very serious golfer, but you need these jokes, these things that help you take the sport less serious, and swing more relaxed. I love your content dude, this is good stuff. I played a par 3 earlier today, did my best to stay out of the scheisse.

[@laurencecoombe8237]

Been a follower of the way of the playa since i started playing golf 2 years ago. Shot a differential of 20 the other day following your rechniques of how to break 90 not hitting anything longer than 160 yards. Revolutionary

[@doubleRprodutions]

I used the system last week and got my best score ever for 9 and beat my friend who always batters me. I don't think I'll hit more than a 7 again, unless I am confident (through practice) that I can hit longer clubs. The Way Of The Playa is the way forwards!

[@FFFSOSS]

Head Playa, I've been living in the 80's last few months with a lot of it due to your tips & attitude towards the game!! I even broke 40 on the front 9! Instead of having double digit bad shots & 5-6 bad holes, it's 5-6 bad shots & only 3-4 bad holes. 70's soon with your continued & certainly appreciated help!! Thank you!!

[@GolfSidekick]

Nice playa. Next stop 70s

[@onism911]

I came to this channel for the golf tips, I'm staying for this guy's apparel and accent (and quality golf shots) 👍🏼

Welcome aboard!

[@ssennik]

This might be my favourite of your videos, and I’ve watched them all! Thanks for keeping it real, homie.

[@michaelswisher8630]

Re: your comment about walk, don't ride. I know I'm a lone voice crying in the wilderness, but carts are the bane of golf. You get no feel for the game. Carts slow down the pace of play. Put 4 average to bad golfers in 2 carts and you are guaranteed a 4 1/2 to 5 hour round. People wait to be driven 50 yards to their ball and then begin to think about the shot. Someone hits a ball in the woods, all 4 golfers go look for it. Ready golf is nonexistent. They park the damned things in front of the green and have to walk forever to retrieve it to move to the next tee. You get virtually no exercise. They should be used only by people who would otherwise not be physically able to play golf. P.S. I hate carts.

[@GolfSidekick]

If you can, walk.

[@nutyyyy]

Makes me appreciate being in Scotland where you almost always have to walk. I wouldn't dream of taking a buggy around a links course here. Sure, the wind and weather are often hell, but it's so nice being able to spend a day walking in a beautiful setting.

[@timlivers1834]

you need to consider there are those of up that if we had to walk, we'd have to give up golf. is that what you advocate?

[@danielowen5889]

Every tuber out there doesn't give us walk/talk thru a round.. This is why i have been following @golfsidekick for years.. Way to go Pro Mo on his last win!!

[@nealprinsloo8076]

Loving your content Matty! Been trying to keep track of all your advice from your videos. So writing them down has been my go to but theres so much content. Do you have a Way of the Playa Golf Guide summary of the fundamentals? Trying to break 85 consistently. Groete van Uitenhage.

This was one of my favorite play through videos, and you have alot of gems to pick from! I greatly appreciate your lectures and all you do for the sport! Big fan and your vids are only golf advice I recommend to anyone 👌

Love this app. Guys simplify’s the shots and makes me understand more and more. I’m going to leave a lot of my clubs in my truck and get real. Already left my driver and used my 3 wood. Better control and parred a short par 4. Love it!!!!

[@sunbornvistoso]

The last two feathers I planted worked for me! That’s 100% of the time every time!

[@jimsaddler942]

Love these "how to think on the golf course" videos. We always thing we can hit those low, rising "stingers" with a slight draw, because we saw one on TV on a Sunday afternoon. We're not superhumans! Great video! Keep it simple!

Great video baus. What is your process on approach shots to hit a safe part of the green? I have trouble picking out a target to line up to, especially if there’s nothing behind the line I want to aim at.

[@edmorris1339]

I am so glad i found your videos on you tube . I have been work hard to lower my score but wasn't looking at this simple but very much overlooked strategy. Since following you I have broken 90 twice in a row on 2 different courses . Changing my mind set to match my playing ability and thinking before swinging has helped a lot ! Thanks !

[@GolfSidekick]

I’m glad too playa. Now you’re a true playa

[@marnew1000]

Hi playa in chief, great vid as always I get what you’re saying about carts, I have never owned a bag trolly and wouldn’t ever use one of the carts. start to feel theses days though around the 17th hole ish 😂

Beautiful Anchorman reference at 17:40

[@mem30075]

Agreed......conservative club/strike choice wins the race 😉 playing fairway golf gives you a chance to score well. 👍 Also, for my game would use a 4H instead of 4 iron for the longer par4/5s.

[@EdwardLamberton]

This is the mental game we all need!

[@1averageamerican]

KZbin golf swing instruction will screw up your game really quick. Videos that talk about strategy, mindset, and course management will actually improve your game. Enjoying the content.

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

Watched you before last round shot a 73. I usually tune out alot but i really buckled down. I realized I lose focus after about the 4th hole im usually around -1 to +1 through 4 then something happens off the tee i start not playing my shape i start narrowing down say for instance id normally play 10 yards off the green to the left for some reason i start narrowing down my dispersion and will end up low 80s by end of the round. That and the going low really helped

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

Don't think I hit a single 60 degree unless it was a full shot 85-95 yards

[@GolfSidekick]

73 is a great score. Well done bro

What is the best way to "find" your club distances? The few ranges near me don't have a lot of measurements for me to record how far I hit it.

Confidential yes exactly

[@GhostofEight]

Tin cup. YOU HIT THAT DRIVER and be a MAN! Play aggressive, you know why? Because you're not playing for anything, so you have nothing to lose. Hit the ball, be aggressive and you will end up a better golfer in the long run (maybe not as good as you could be now) but it teaches you to be confident and not run from a challenge. Just my two cents.

[@GolfSidekick]

learn driver away from course introduce on the course on wide holes no one is saying run from a challenge i am saying stop persisting brainlessly if you have trouble with it
